This new scrub works like a highlighter for your body

Plus, other beauty launches we’re lusting over

A new day, a new beauty product release—this is basically the norm at the Vogue India HQ. Our morning reading and email-scanning always finds us discovering fresh launches and trends, some worth getting excited about, some not so much. We discovered four beauty products that are hot out of the oven and ideal for the summer. We’re talking glitter body scrubs and clay lip masks. Read on.

Move over sheet masks—the newest in the biz takes you back to memories of your grandmother sitting in her rocking chair, knitting. Neogen’s White Truffle Hydramax Knit Mask (Rs 385 on Sokoglam.com) brings the best of goods from your kitchen like white truffle essence and avocado oil (K-beauty guru Charlotte Cho vouches for it, too) that’ll brighten and hydrate your skin. Use it just before you go to bed so you can relax. Plus, the knit texture makes sure it latches onto your skin and stays there.

Matcha’s big, we know that. So are products in a stick format. And calming products are a big win for the summer, anyway. Milk Makeup decided to bring all of this together in their Matcha Stick Toner, and we’re in love. It combines kombucha, cactus extract, green tea and witch hazel, all known for their calming properties, which is perfect to prep your face pre-make-up, or even as part of your daily routine.

There’s something about Frank Body scrubs that make you keep going back for more, besides the fact that they do what they say. This time around, the brand’s hit it out of the park with their limited-edition Shimmer Scrub—it comes with a generous helping of Glow Dust (tiny gold and silver particles) that’ll leave your skin with an iridescent shine post-scrub. Instant ’90s throwback, we’d say.

While lip masks are a super exciting format as is—and definitely less scary than the idea of a lip job going wrong—you’ll mostly see them as a gel in a tube or in the shape of a lip to simply stick on. As opposed to regular clay masks, the new Sara Happ Sweet Clay Lip Mask (Rs 2,051) actually soothes your lips (thanks to the ayurvedic swertiamarin herb) rather than drying it out and comes in a neon pink colour that looks like you’re wearing lipstick. It’s a win-win!
